It's not a matter of displeasure, it's a matter of this being really stupid. It's driven by the Big10 and Pac10 TV networks. I make the following predictions:
The Big 10 and/or Pac 10 network will fail within 10 years.
Conferences that go above 12 teams will see a net punishment in NCAA Tourney bids ala the Big East. (The Big East and Conference USA generally got more bids seperately then the combined 16 team conference which has never gotten more then 8).
This will blow up in at least one conference's face because the conferences themselves will become way too unwieldly and teams travel and accomodation expenses are going to skyrocket on average. Ratings for individual games and bowls have consistantly declined, so the TV money factory is not going to last long term.
